3. Outer Motivation
Bob is young man in his early twenties , who looks uncomfortable due to the setting and his suit which
only gives him the formal look but not the confidence to go with it, enters the office in order to talk to the
boss of the company he is starting out for. We can observe his lack of confidence through his facial
expressions and body manner as he walks over to the boss. The boss is a smug and values himself over
others, he has a sarcastic sense of humor and an air of sleaziness and dishonesty around him. the balance
of power is clearly in favor of the boss, which can be seen through their conversation as bob is very
nervous which contrasts the arrogant nature of the boss. Bob is handed the makeup product box, and then
shortly proceeds to leave. The bosses main motivation at this stage are to assess whether Bob is a potential
future employee. Bob’s motivation on the hand is to quickly enter the business world and secure
employment, alongside also not letting down and disappointing his potential new boss like he has
everyone else due to his college dropout status which makes him an outcast among his family and
friends. He believes if he can quickly establish himself in the world through minimal effort that is the best
possible outcome, however he lacks the confidence and decisiveness to do so earlier so he believes this is
his big chance.
Then he is seen in the suburban neighborhood, unsuccessful yet still desperately determined to make a
sale. He is walking over to the last house on the list, which seems to be more of a challenge with each step.
As he arrives in an exhausted manner, he slowly walks up the steps as his feet feel heavier with each step.
He knocks on the door, and impatiently awaits an answer. When a younger chav girl answers, Bobs hopes
are revived as he attempts to put on his best sales pitch and finally take a first leap forward towards his
corporate success. Through the rest of script we can see his struggles to achieve his goal and how strong
are his motivations.

4. Inner Motivation
Although at the beginning of the film the main character may look like he has gotten a chance in life to
prove himself that he is worth something as he does not want to waste this opportunity. He has already
dropped out of college and currently does not see a bright future for himself. As he has taken the easy
road in life up until now and has never really worked for or been committed to anything. This serves as a
motivating factor hat despite this being unnatural and not his usual self which can be seen through his
lack of self-confidence and confusion at the general situation. His commitment is seen as he has visited
every house on the list despite no success. Bob’s discomfort with the situation can be seen through his
reserved nature and stuttering yet there is also a desperate in him.
Conflict
Overall there is also the complete conflict between business people, his boss, and regular ones, Bob,
which can be seen through their attitudes and mannerism as they display two completely different levels
of confidence. This also serves to show how the corporate world is in reality the predator compared to
the rest of society and how they will use any mean, in this film Casey, to prove their superiority and
display their dominance despite seeming to be your friend and supporter. The power struggle between
Bob and Casey also serves to show how two regular people attempt to make their survival through
trying to deceive and delude the other, while the corporate man is living the high life safely somewhere
else as his working days are secured and stable compared to Bobs. The main purpose of the story is too
criticize the modern consumerist society and the corporate world for their lack of morals, due to their
treatment of consumer and employees.

5. Bob Rider is the main character for “The Salesman”, a short
film comedy. He is in his early twenties, tall, has black hair
and eyes and an air of confusion around him wherever he
goes. Bob is a middle-class college dropout who does not seem
to have the prospects of a good career and future.
Although he may seem as a pushover and incompetent due t
his self-confidence issues and nervous body language and
mannerism, there is a deeper motivation within him as he
wishes to be successful, even through shortcuts wherever
possible.
His lack of presence and assertiveness, as he is overpowered
by both Mr. Smith and Casey when they are together, are there
to portray his complexes from being a college dropout as it has
undermined his goal of easy employment and life.
Overall he represents the average consumer who does not
know the greater scheme of things and is easily taken
advantage of.

6. Mr. Smith is an upper class , late 40s manager in the
company that values himself too highly . He is an arrogant
man that likes to run the business in an autocratic manner.
He likes to put the new employees in their place so no one
will challenge his authority. Has a smug and ironic sense
of humor that usually comes off as insincere. He
represents the power and domination of the corporations
over others and their sense of superiority.
Casey is a late teen, working class chav girl who is
obsessed with the modern celebrity worship culture. She
must have the latest Iphone and keeps track of all the
fashion trends . Does not get along well with her family
due to her snobbish behavior and likes to impose herself
on others. She is also engulfed in modern social media and
enjoys postings daily believing she is going to be the next
important celebrity figure. She represents the average
consumer who is not aware of her own hypocrisy as she is
engulfed in the artificial society the corporations created
yet she still decides to assist them showing the disunity
within society and why it is unable to make changes.
